Through research and technology, we have learned to convert tree fibers and paper-pulping residues into a wealth of products. In fact, there are more than 5,000 wood and paper products that we use and enjoy each day!
Unlike fossil fuels, metal, and plastics, wood can be harvested, used, regrown, and harvested again and again in a never-ending cycle. With proper forest management, we can enjoy thousands of products and still have plenty of trees for wildlife habitat, clean air and water, recreation, and aesthetic beauty today and in the future.
Our Goods from the Woods kits contain 14 products derived from trees, a description of the product, and the Project Learning Tree Activity We All Need Trees.
Contact Abigail Ridge (aridge@ncforestry.org) to receive a kit via mail. You can also download product cards here.
Learn about the many products derived from trees that we use every day at home or school!

These videos feature how lumber, plywood, and fluff pulp are made!
